Brutal Killing By Cops Trigger Protests Across USA...Again!
If the brutal killing of Tyre Nichols wasn't bad enough is the dismal protest against - oddly too - the release of body cam video of the deadly beating! What purpose will it serve other than spark violence across the US, is the logic. The officers involved were anyway dismissed from service and charged with murder.
So much for upholding Freedoms and that of Speech and Expression. The Ostrich Effect, that runs synonymous with US propaganda, is a cognitive bias that causes people to avoid information that they perceive as potentially unpleasant.
Tyre Nichols was a victim of a hate that's synonymous with the system. Anything to validate it by either justification or, as is the case always, adopting the cognitive bias to shove the dirt below the carpet will only perpetrate the harm.
Protests have now, again, broken out across the US, some peaceful, some violent but protests nonetheless. It's Tyre Nichols scream for his Mom in the middle of the violence, that brings back memories of George Floyd calling out to 'his' Mama, in yet another act of senseless violence by another instance of law-enforcers breaking the law themselves.
It is heartbreaking...again and perhaps the beginning of the end!
